Huh. Interesting, I don't know **** about long fist but next time i see a form ill look for that stutter hop.

Okay, I see how the footwork is there and how it could have come from some shaolin stuff ive seen. Just looks weird with a hook snapped into it instead of what i guess would be a straighter punch normally in traditional stuff.

How much CMA have you practiced? Right now, I'm thinking you have very limited experience outside of Xingyi.

i have seen a few, "chop choy", "chuup choy", etc. if it isn't in hanzi, it's really just an approximation (and illiterate roundeyes like me can't read hanzi anyway.)

showed the vid to my dai sihing and he says it's a sao choy (we're going to have to disagree on that one.)
